The Ethiopia Citronella Oil Market is projected to witness mixed growth rate patterns during 2025 to 2029. The growth rate starts at 13.52% in 2025 and reaches 14.69% by 2029.

With applications in personal care, aromatherapy, and insect repellents, citronella oil has growing demand in Ethiopia. As the countrys natural product industry expands, both for domestic consumption and export, the citronella oil market is expected to see growth.
The citronella oil market in Ethiopia is driven by the increasing demand for natural insect repellents and essential oils used in cosmetics, aromatherapy, and personal care products. As consumers shift toward natural and organic alternatives in personal care, citronella oil, known for its insect-repelling properties, has gained popularity. Moreover, the growing wellness and beauty sectors in Ethiopia contribute to the expanding citronella oil market.
The citronella oil market in Ethiopia encounters challenges from inconsistent cultivation practices and insufficient agricultural support for citronella grass. Furthermore, the lack of processing infrastructure and modern distillation technology leads to lower yields and quality. Export barriers and competition from global producers restrict market expansion, while climate variability poses a significant threat to raw material availability.
Ethiopia encourages the cultivation and processing of citronella as part of its agricultural development strategy. Policies provide financial and technical support to farmers and processors while promoting exports to increase foreign exchange earnings.
